Wouldn't it be wonderful to permanently get rid of unwanted body hair so easily? Imagine not having to spend a fortune on razor blades. Not nicking yourself while shaving around your kneecaps and ankles. Not waxing your upper lip to get rid of that dark shadow forming under your nose...you get the picture. Obviously, laser hair removal is the answer if you're after permanent hair removal. Again, obviously, an at-home laser removal device is the perfect answer to make life a little easier. This nicely brings me on to the device I'll be talking about - the Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser.

The Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser Device.


Firstly, who is Tria Laser?

Tria Laser is a brand that specialises in laser treatments and has been pioneering them for over 20 years. The brand was founded by scientists, and their main mission was to empower people to achieve clinical results at home. 

Tria's priority is for people to have excellent results from the privacy and comfort of their home. Tria's multi-award-winning devices use the same laser technologies preferred by professionals at clinics around the world. 

As well as the 4X Hair Removal Laser device, the brand offers the Tria FRX Skin Rejuvenation Fractional Laser (2nd Gen).

Let me tell you about the Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser

The Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser is a *handheld laser hair removal device with 233% more power than leading IPL devices on the market. Results have shown that those who have used the device have seen up to 100% hair reduction in 8 laser hair removal treatments and up to 75% after two treatments. The device uses clinical-grade laser technology for permanent results at home. The device is also FDA-cleared.

The Tria 4X is an upgrade on their previous version. The device is now safer and stronger than ever, improving thermal performance. The new device also features a rubber-grip handle and an LCD display that shows battery life and the intensity level the device is on during use. 



What comes in the box?

The items included in the box are:

  • The Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser device

How does the Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser device work?

Before using the device, it's important to do a sensitivity check to make sure your skin is ok with the device. Instructions are in the user manual, and you can look at this 'How To' guide.

1) Before use, check to see if the device is charged. Even if it has a little battery life, charge it anyway to ensure it's fully charged.
2) Shave the area you wish to treat. Ensure the area is clean and dry before using the device. Add the Phytograph Hydrating Calm Soothing Gel to the treatment area beforehand.
3) Press the power button once to turn on the device. The device will be locked when initially turned on. To unlock it:
  • Hold the skin sensor located on the base of the device against the area you're treating.
  • If your skin tone is compatible, the device will beep (more on that later).
  • If your skin tone is not compatible, the device will remain locked.

4) Select which treatment/intensity level you'd like to use. The scale is from 1 to 5, with 1 being the gentlest and 5 the most intense. Choose the level which you can tolerate (you can increase the level as you get more comfortable). 
5) Hold the treatment window against your skin until you hear the two beeps. This means that your skin is compatible with the device.
6) Lift the laser and place it back down in an interlocking pattern. Do NOT repeatedly treat the same spot. Always move the treatment window to a new area after each pulse. You may hear the cooling fan noise when the device is in use; it's completely normal!
7) There is a pulse counter on the little LCD screen. It will count each successful laser pulse. 
8) Turn off the device by holding down the power button. You can then apply the soothing gel on the treated area afterwards.

I know it seems like a lot of instructions, but it becomes second nature once you use it a few times. 

Let me tell you about the Phytograph Hydrating Calm Soothing Gel

The *Phytograph Hydrating Calm Soothing Gel's formula features ingredients such as chamomile extract, aloe vera leaf extract, white eggplant and others that have soothing properties. This then soothes the skin before and after your laser treatment. 

The Tria Phytograph Hydrating Calm Soothing Gel.



I use this gel with my laser treatment as it soothes my skin before and after every treatment. It absorbs into my skin well, and it is perfect for those who have sensitive skin. It really takes the edge off the stinging sensation I feel when using the device. 

It's good to use the gel before and after when treating more sensitive areas like the underarms. When treating larger areas like the legs, it's ok to just apply the gel after the treatment.

How often can I use the Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser device?

You repeat the treatment bi-weekly (every 2 weeks) for up to 3 months or when you get the desired results. When you see results will depend as it'll be different for everybody. According to Tria 4X Clinical Study, some consumers achieve up 100% hair reduction in 8 treatments. So within about 4 months, you could be hair-free in the area you choose to treat!

Does the device need cleaning?

It's important to keep the treatment window clean in between uses. To do this, simply use a moist, soft cloth and mild soap, then wipe the treatment window. 

Does the Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser device hurt when in use?

The sensations do vary, depending on intensity, the person and the treatment area. Some may feel a rubber band snap against the skin. Some may feel a warm, prickling sensation. It's always recommended to start off on intensity level 1, then work your way up. For me, the sensation I feel is the rubber-band feeling. It's for a split second before I move the treatment window onto the next spot. 

How long does the battery last on the device?

A full charge of the Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser will give you around 30 minutes of use. One full charge will allow you to do one large area, e.g. half a leg or multiple small areas, e.g. both underarms and upper lip. It all depends on the areas of the body you treat.

What are the areas I can and can't treat with the Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser?

There are areas of the body that are prohibited from being treated:

  • On thicker facial hair
  • Anywhere too close to the genitalia, nipples and anus. 
  • Any skin that is sensitive, damaged, sunburnt, dry or tattooed. 

But you can definitely use it on areas of the body such as:

  • Legs
  • Arms
  • Underarms
  • Bikini line
  • Fingers
  • Toes
  • Peach fuzz-type facial hair from the cheek line downwards, e.g. upper lip, chin and sideburn areas)

It's important that before you treat any area, it must be clean-shaven. 

What are the safety features of this laser hair removal device?

The device has a lock feature that activates only when the skin sensor comes into contact with the skin. The device will beep when that happens. If your skin tone is not safe to treat, the device will remain locked.

This device is designed to work on light brown or darker body hair. This is because the device targets the melanin in your hair follicles. This means it will be less effective on lighter hair colours like blonde, red and white/grey hair as they do not have enough melanin to absorb the laser energy.

Wait, I can easily go to a salon to have this done, so why buy the Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser?

Ok, let's do a bit of girl math. If you add up the costs of going to a salon to have this done, which, let's face it, is going to take a massive hit on your bank account, you would be FAR BETTER off buying the Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser device, as not only is it better value for money, but you keep the device for life. I know it's an investment, but if you're looking to save money and would like to have this done in the comfort of your own home, this device is perfect for you.

Another thing, I've had IPL in the past. What is the difference between laser and IPL treatments?

There are significant differences between laser and IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments. I've highlighted them in this graphic below:




So, after analysing every detail about the Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser, here are my thoughts:

This device is fantastic! I love that it's FDA-cleared (and the only home laser device that is), so I know it's completely safe. The device is so easy to use, the instructions are easy to follow and, depending on which part of the body you're treating, it doesn't take up too much time. I'm currently doing my underarms with the device. I will be posting progression photos in due course. But here are some before-and-after photos from other customers who have used the device:


The Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser allows me to have a professional treatment done in my own home. No salons involved, and no extortionate fees going back and forth to a salon for repeated treatments. I can sit down on my bed and simply let the device work its magic. This device will give me permanent results and save me a little money on razors and wax strips for the foreseeable future! 

I would like to try this device on my legs and maybe the upper lip. 

All in all, from what I have noticed so far since using the Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser device, it's going to be my ultimate hair removal gadget for a long time!
